Is that 8 GB shared or per line?
And when did their business plans stop being unlimited data?

I'm pretty sure it's burning other people's money.
Nextlink, for example is expanding their fixed wireless into a town nearby with
3 fiber providers. WHY?!
At best, they are going to get the 10-15% of the population that is "never
happy" and will end up spending so much time/money on truck rolls

The Visible thing is unlimited data, voice, & text. Advisory that it may
be throttled under vague circumstances, but I've never really seen it.
My wife's Verizon plan is 3GB data with unlimited voice & text. She
occasionally goes over the 3GB, but not very often.

That 8 GB has to be a typo, even just going to their website, the 2 higher
business plans are 100 or 200 GB of fast data. The basic one just says it may

- include a free router or mesh
